searched for the Noble Messenger (Upon whom be blessings and peace) after seeing his description. [^318]

Also, a famous scholar called Tamim, and the well-known Abyssinian ruler, the Negus, and the Abyssinian Christians, and the priests of Najran, all unanimously declared that they had seen the Prophet’s (Upon whom be blessings and peace) description in their scriptures, and had come to believe in him.

#### Third Proof
T h e T h i r d P r o o f: Here, as examples, we shall point out from the Gospel, the Torah, and the Psalms, a few instances of verses concerning our Prophet (Upon whom be blessings and peace).
First: In the Psalms, there is the following verse:
O God, send to us after the period between prophets one who will establish an exemplary model. [^320]
[^320]: Yūsuf Nabhānī, Ḥujjat Allāh ‘alā’l-‘Ālamīn, 104, 115.

that is, Ahmad Muhammad.
A second verse from the Gospels:
I ask from my Lord for the Paraclete that he may abide with you forever. [^322]
[^322]: ‘Alī al-Qārī, Sharḥ al-Shifā’, i, 743; Yūsuf Nabhānī, Ḥujjat Allāh ‘alā’l-‘Ālamīn, 99; Jisri, Risale-i Hamidiye, i, 255; Gospel of John, 14:16.
Paraclete, meaning the distinguisher of good from evil, is the name of our Prophet (UWBP) in those Books.
A verse from the Torah says:
